Mt. Kailash Pilgrimage Tour via Simikot for NRIs (Non Resident Indians)

Mt. Kailash Pilgrimage Tour via Simikot

Embark on a sacred journey to Mt. Kailash Pilgrimage Tour via Simikot, one of the most spiritually powerful routes in the Himalayas. This historic pilgrimage trail passes through the remote region of Humla in western Nepal, following an ancient path once used by traders and pilgrims. It leads across the border into Tibet (Xizang) toward the legendary Mount Kailash—revered as the holiest mountain on Earth.

Standing majestically at 6,714 meters (22,028 feet), Mount Kailash holds deep spiritual meaning for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers. The pilgrimage, known as the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, is not only a physical journey but also a profound spiritual quest believed to cleanse one’s soul and karma.

The Sacred Significance of Mount Kailash

For Hindus, Mount Kailash is regarded as the abode of Lord Shiva, the eternal symbol of meditation and cosmic energy. It is also considered the axis mundi, or the spiritual center of the universe, from which the four great rivers—the Indus, Brahmaputra, Sutlej, and Karnali—flow in the four cardinal directions, nurturing civilizations across Asia.

Nearby, the tranquil Lake Manasarovar symbolizes purity and divine wisdom. Pilgrims believe that bathing in or drinking the waters of Lake Manasarovar washes away the sins of a hundred lifetimes, while the neighboring Lake Rakshas Tal represents power and energy. Together, these two sacred lakes reflect the eternal balance between good and evil, light and darkness.

A Journey Through Mt. Kailash Pilgrimage Tour via Simikot

The Mount Kailash pilgrimage via Simikot is one of the most scenic and culturally rich routes to reach the sacred peak. Starting from Simikot, the administrative center of Humla district, trekkers pass through traditional mountain villages, ancient monasteries, and pristine landscapes untouched by time.

Crossing into Tibet, the journey continues across the vast plateau toward Lake Manasarovar and then to Darchen, the base camp for the holy Kailash Parikrama (circumambulation). Pilgrims walk around the mountain—a 52 km trek that typically takes three days—believed to bring spiritual liberation and enlightenment.
